Cedar or Limestone Glades

             The term "cedar glade" has been used for many years in
             the southeastern United States for edaphic climax plant
             communities on shallow, rocky limestone soils dominated
             by annual or perennial forbs, annual grasses, cryptogams,
             or some combination of these. The concept of cedar glades
             first was given a sound quantitative basis by Elsie
             Quarterman in the 1940's in her studies of the limestone
             rock outcrop plant communities in the Central Basin of
             Tennessee. Quarterman recognized two types of open glades
             ("grassy" and "gravelly"), and in both types Sporobolus
             vaginiflorus (Torrey ex Gray) Wood, a drought-tolerant,
             Csummer annual grass, was the dominant plant species. Neither
             little bluestem nor other perennial grasses was an important
             component of the vegetation. In his extensive studies of
             herb-dominated vegetation in southeastern USA, Hal DeSelm
             also uses "cedar glades" only for plant communities in
             which perennial grasses are relatively unimportant.

STATE ANNOUNCES NATURAL AREA ADDITION

at South Cumberland State Park

Thursday, April 23, 1998

...

In addition to the Savage Gulf acquisition, the state has recently named three new Designated State Natural Areas. Gov. Sundquist signed a bill on
March 17 adding the following:

     Montgomery Bell Forest (Dickson County): 600 acres, among the
     best-known examples of oak-hickory forest ecosystems on Tennessee's
     Western Highland Rim.

     Elsie Quarterman cedar glade (Rutherford County): A cedar glade of
     185 acres which supports federally endangered Tennessee coneflower.

     Watauga river bluffs (Carter County): 50 acres, located along the
     Watauga River, supporting a population of rare Carolina pink and
     rock chestnut oak.
